Quotes by Shannon K. Evans  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Brit Barron asks, “Is my life a reflection of who I want to be or a reaction to people I don’t want to upset?”1 When all the nuance, variation, and expansive vision that reside within your personal spirituality are forced to go through someone else’s strainer, the really good stuff is never going to make it through their tiny filtering holes.”
Shannon K. Evans, Rewilding Motherhood: Your Path to an Empowered Feminine Spirituality

“In neglecting to first embrace our own weakness before addressing the weakness of  others, we lose the value of reciprocity that Jesus modeled so profoundly.”
Shannon K. Evans, Embracing Weakness: The Unlikely Secret to Changing the World

“Resolving to trust in our souls does not mean we believe we are perfect. It is merely giving ourselves the dignity of trusting that when we mess up, when we fall short, when we “miss the mark” (as the word sin literally means), we will be able to recalibrate. The compass inside of us is strong and true, held fast by the One who holds all things together.”
Shannon K. Evans, The Mystics Would Like a Word: Six Women Who Met God and Found a Spirituality for Today
